Google Adwords Fraud
There seems to be plethora of Google Adwords fraud happening and the purpose of this article is to unearth some of these. Some of the methods used are very sophisticated. However, there are many which are done rather openly. I do not know if Google knows about it or not but it should take notice of this and ban the owners of these websites and ban their account to the best interest of the advertisers.
In today’s blog I will be pointing out how people are misusing microworkers.com to have the ads fradulently clicked. Take a look at one of the projects posted on the microworkers site
It turns out that the tinyurl link takes me to a blogspot website http://sebulba1963.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html . On this website is listed a large number of websites that have Google Adsense. Some of the websites are, for example, http://outdoordaybed.org/ ,http://antiquesink.net/ and a bunch of others. This Microworker job pays $0.80 for the work, which essentially is clicking 2 Google Ads.
Google are you listening ?
